Rice Stink Bug - Oebalus pugnax
Found this little guy at a local park. ID made by BugGuide.net. Did a little bit of research on the web. Found out that this species is a major agricultural pest - especially to rice.

Nikon D500, 105 Nikkor micro lens, 1/320, f11, and ISO 1600.

Excellent detail and composition on this pest. Great for i.d. if needed. I think there are a lot of varieties of stinkers that are very destructive.

Hi

A nice image that I have enjoyed seeing - I am wondering if the grain effect is from the iso or cropping, or perhaps a bit of both

Does not matter really - I was just curious

All the best
Matthew
